Weather Matrix Display

Arduino code for Mini weather status display from a 8x8 LED matrix display. Using Genuino MKR1000 to fetch temperature, humidity and condition of weather within a selected location.

• Version v1.0.0 | By Jeff Paredes

Getting Started

These instructions will show you how to use the code

Prerequisite Libraries

1. Thread.h
2. WiFi101.h
3. ArduinoJson.h

Installing

Please follow these step by step series of examples that tell you have to use this codes

1. Install prerequisite libraries

2. Add the attached HexFont folder to your Arduino libraries.

3. Open simple_weather_display.ino with your Arduino IDE

4. Replace with your WiFi settings

char ssid[] = ""; //  your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "";    // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)

5. Replace with your Apixu Api Key and location coordinates

String apiKey = "8f0ff191defb4a20b5583518171203"; // your apixu api key
String coordinates = "14.3335591,120.9758737"; // your location coordinates

6. You can also changed what data to be displayed on this part of the code

//get the current condition
String condition =  result["current"]["condition"]["text"];
appendMessage(condition);
appendMessage(" ");
String temp_c = result["current"]["temp_c"] ;
appendMessage(temp_c);
appendMessage("C");
appendMessage(" ");
String humidity = result["current"]["humidity"];
appendMessage(humidity);
appendMessage("H");
appendMessage(" ");

7. For example if you want to add wind_mph from apixu api result:

String wind_mph = result["current"]["wind_mph"] ;
appendMessage(wind_mph);
appendMessage("Wind mph");
appendMessage(" ");

Deployment

Flash Your MKR1000 using the code
